Chapter 341

~16 min read 3,177 words

Wang Yuezhi isn't a clown; how could he not understand the meaning of Zhuo Yongfei's words?

This friend of Zhuo Yongfei's... is obviously himself!!

Wang Yuezhi has seen many cases of "creating a friend out of thin air," and he often does it himself, so he can understand it very well.

After comforting Zhuo Yongfei, Wang Yuezhi's gaze began to slowly scan the students from other classes around.

The focus of the scan was whether there were any situations where boys and girls were sitting together.

The logic is simple: before he went out to get water, Zhuo Yongfei was still very normal, without any abnormalities, but after he came back from getting water, that friend of his was heartbroken.

So, imagining it, one could immediately guess the reason—Zhuo Yongfei's secret... Zhuo Yongfei's friend has a crush on a girl from another class, but now, that girl is sitting with another boy, so Zhuo Yongfei's friend felt so desperate after seeing it.

Wang Yuezhi found that the number was not small.

Just a simple scan, and he saw seven or eight scenes of boys and girls sitting next to each other.

However, Wang Yuezhi must emphasize that he didn't think these seven or eight pairs were all boyfriend and girlfriend.

As a parallel class, there aren't many girls in each class whose math grades are excellent enough to participate in competitions. Like Class 4, there is only one girl, or even no girls, which is still relatively common.

Now that not everyone has arrived, looking around, there are only ten or so girls in total.

So girls who don't want to sit alone naturally prioritize sitting with their own classmates.

Chen Yuying and Lin Li sitting in front of him are a good example.

They are sitting together now, and very intimately, but can you say they are boyfriend and girlfriend?

Definitely not!

Whoever dares to draw such a conclusion so easily is malicious.

This is a slander of the Class Monitor's reputation and an insult to her personality! It is highly likely an evil public opinion plan instigated by Lin Li!

Chen Yuying is only sitting next to Lin Li out of the friendship of classmates.

This is a point Wang Yuezhi must emphasize.

This is the bond of the noon trio.

—If anyone slanders Chen Yuying or Lin Li, Wang Yuezhi will stand up to defend Chen Yuying.

Wang Yuezhi's gaze continued to wander among those pairs of boys and girls.

He didn't know which one was the girl that Zhuo Yongfei's friend liked.

Wang Yuezhi felt it should be a pair of boys and girls two rows behind him; they were joking and playing, and their laughter didn't stop.

Only they could have caused such a huge blow to Zhuo Yongfei's friend in such a short time while he was away getting water.

The laughter emitted when the girl one has a crush on sits with another boy is simply a sharp sword piercing into the heart of the secret admirer, and the surface is still quenched with slow-acting poison.

Not fatal, but torturous.

The poison will brew into a slightly salty tide in the nights when no one knows, rolling in the bottom of the heart with the wind of countless sighs, surging out waves of sadness.

Wang Yuezhi could really empathize with this feeling too much.

No one understands this sadness better than him.

Therefore, Wang Yuezhi's expression when looking at Zhuo Yongfei became even softer and warmer.

Brother, I understand you!

But Wang Yuezhi is fortunate; at least his secret crush still has hope, but Yongfei's friend... can never fly again.

Zhuo Yongfei, feeling Wang Yuezhi's gaze: "(; o_o)?"

Hey, your mom! Is there something wrong with you, kid!

As the dignified vice-monitor of Class 4, Grade 1, how could Zhuo Yongfei not understand the meaning of Wang Yuezhi's look?

Damn! But this friend of mine is really my friend! It's even you! It's not me myself!!

However, Yuezhi, you are so gentle to me, I don't know how to tell you the truth even more...

Damn it! I can't take it anymore!

Lin Li, why are you so bad—Zhuo Yongfei has no grudge against Lin Li, but people in Class 4 don't need a grudge to scold Lin Li; it's just a matter of course.

"Yuezhi, that friend of mine, he really is my friend..."

But since it's already been said, he still has to continue, and he needs to be even more cautious. Therefore, Zhuo Yongfei worded it for a long time, his expression complex, and he added with some difficulty.

"I know, I know, of course I know, it must be your friend..." Wang Yuezhi nodded heavily upon hearing this, reaching out to soothe Zhuo Yongfei's back, "Your friend must be okay..."

Zhuo Yongfei: "..."

You know your mom, you know!

"Yuezhi! The person who is heartbroken is really not me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's not you, I have a count in my heart, no need to emphasize~"

"?"

"Damn, the person I like isn't even in our school, and she's still single, and she chats with me on weekends. What do I have to be heartbroken about! I haven't reached that step yet!" Zhuo Yongfei was so anxious he exposed himself.

"Ah?" Wang Yuezhi frowned.

This tone, this content, could it really not be Zhuo Yongfei?

Therefore, after being stunned for a moment, Wang Yuezhi withdrew his hand and asked suspiciously: "Not you? Then who is it? Do I know him?"

"Sigh—I know him, quite familiar, very familiar, we are together day and night." Seeing that the topic finally returned to the right track, Zhuo Yongfei nodded expressionlessly.

"From our dorm?" Wang Yuezhi and Zhuo Yongfei are very familiar, so he asked again.

"Hmm."

"Damn, who is it? Weilun? Qi Peng? Why have I never heard of it? Did you guys talk about it at noon?"

Since the person involved wasn't present, the emotion in Wang Yuezhi's eyes also converged, turning more into gossip and curiosity, and his gaze continued to look around.

It's quite normal that he doesn't know about things in the dorm; after all, he is almost never in the dorm at noon, but accompanies Chen Yuying—and incidentally accompanies Lin Li.

So there are many collective chats in the dorm that Wang Yuezhi didn't participate in.

Maybe one noon, a roommate told others, including Zhuo Yongfei, about his secret crush.

But Zhuo Yongfei: "(; o_o)?"

?

Not right.

Not right, not right, not right.

Zhuo Yongfei is a bit puzzled now: is Wang Yuezhi really brain-dead, not understanding his almost explicit hints, or is he deliberately not thinking in that direction?

Protective shielding of the brain?

Stupid brain, to do this step even now, he really is a dedicated existence protecting Yuezhi...

Zhuo Yongfei sighed, thinking of this, he was also relieved, and changed to a gentle inquiry:

"Who it is is not important for now, Yuezhi, how do you think I should convey it so that he can minimize the harm he receives?"

"Or, should I just not tell him at all? Anyway, knowing or not knowing the truth is actually the same. It's better to let him know the truth another day."

"I think it's better to tell him," Wang Yuezhi shrugged, "A white lie is still a lie after all. It's necessary to know the truth.

As for the way of telling, I don't suggest you say it directly in the dorm, letting others know. It's better to pull him out alone and then tell him.

It's best to leave after you finish speaking, let him be quiet alone, otherwise he'll have to hide his sadness."

"I see, I know." Zhuo Yongfei nodded.

Since these are Yuezhi's thoughts, then do as he says.

He looked at Wang Yuezhi, his expression compassionate and serious: "Yuezhi, do you have time? Come to the corridor with me, I have some things I need to tell you alone."

Wang Yuezhi: "?"

Wang Yuezhi looked at Zhuo Yongfei and didn't speak at first.

"..."

"..."

Then Wang Yuezhi waved his hand and smiled:

"Haha, why do we need to go out to talk? Aren't we two sitting together now? You can just tell me directly. It's also talking alone."

Zhuo Yongfei: "There are too many people here. If I finish speaking and leave, you won't be able to be quiet alone, and you'll have to hide your sadness."

"..."

"..."

Looking at Wang Yuezhi, whose forehead suddenly started to sweat, who kept biting his dry lips, and whose eyes were unfocused and staring at the front left, Zhuo Yongfei sighed: "Forget it, change it."

Already... nothing needs to be said, already... it's over.

At this time, it was 6:34, and there were only five or six minutes left before the tutoring started. More and more students from other classes walked in, and the multi-function hall gradually became noisy.

In this noise coming from all directions, perhaps the more one cares, the clearer it is, plus the close distance, Chen Yuying and Lin Li's laughter was particularly outstanding.

Corresponding to this was the low pressure between Zhuo Yongfei and Wang Yuezhi.

Wang Yuezhi pinched his pen, reached out to wipe away the sweat shed in the cool autumn day, his breathing gradually becoming heavy, and finally, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhuo Yongfei: "... Yongfei."

"Hmm." Zhuo Yongfei had been waiting for a long time.

"That person in our dorm who I'm very familiar with and who seems to be heartbroken, what is his name?" Wang Yuezhi was pale and weak, wearing a smile that couldn't be maintained.

Zhuo Yongfei was also rendered very sad, looked up at Wang Yuezhi, and nodded:

"Yuezhi."

"Hmm, I'm listening, tell me." Wang Yuezhi had already gripped the anti-slip edge protruding from the long table in front of him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Zhuo Yongfei smiled even uglier: "But I've already finished speaking, didn't you hear?"

Wang Yuezhi mumbled his lips, looking alive, but actually dead for a while: "I didn't hear you say anyone's name..." Zhuo Yongfei patted Wang Yuezhi's back, a long pain is worse than a short pain, and he didn't beat around the bush with Wang Yuezhi anymore, but directly said everything he had just seen and heard:

"Yuezhi, just now, I heard the Class Monitor tell her friend from another class that Lin Li is her boyfriend now.

They also chatted about gossip for a while, sitting in front of me, so I heard a part of it, and from it, I learned that Chen Yuying and Lin Li should have gotten together this weekend."

"Yuezhi, my friend, the person who is heartbroken is you."

Wang Yuezhi stared at Zhuo Yongfei, his voice mechanical: "You guy, what are you talking about..."

Zhuo Yongfei was very calm upon hearing this, smiled without much laughter, patted Wang Yuezhi's shoulder with the back of his hand, but didn't speak.

Life is a roll of black and white film, which, after being washed by bitter water, reveals the bleak truth.

But this silence made Wang Yuezhi completely panicked.

"R-really?

Haha, Yongfei, if you just want to play with me, I won't be angry, I'll think it's a very humorous joke~"

Wang Yuezhi looked at Zhuo Yongfei weakly and hopefully, his words already carrying some pleading.

"It's just what I heard just now, I didn't lie to you." But Zhuo Yongfei gave an answer Wang Yuezhi didn't want to hear.

"T-then let me say, is there a possibility that you heard wrong? Yongfei, you're not young anymore, it's normal to be hard of hearing.

I have an acquaintance who bought an Airpods, used it for three days, and found one had no sound. He went to the hospital for a checkup, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out the earphone wasn't broken, he was just deaf in one ear.

Scared to death, almost thought a few hundred yuan was broken just like that, haha, funny right?"

Wang Yuezhi showed a smile even more bleak than crying, not daring to look in the direction of Lin Li and Chen Yuying, guarding his last hope bit by bit:

"And, I have side-checked through other girls a long time ago, the Class Monitor said she has no thoughts of dating right now.

So could this information be a joke played by Lin Li? Was the Class Monitor deceived? You know, Lin Li has always liked to joke.

And he is very good at betting, betting twice to be my dad, could the Class Monitor..."

Zhuo Yongfei couldn't bear to look.

Damn!

Why did he start feeling uncomfortable too!

Damn it!

Could the girl he likes be laughing and talking with Lin Li from another school now...

Although Zhuo Yongfei really wanted to nod, just like what Wang Yuezhi said just now, a white lie is still a lie.

Therefore, he stood up and walked towards Chen Tianming and Zhang Haoyang in the last row in Wang Yuezhi's gaze.

After chatting for a while, Zhuo Yongfei came back.

Then he used the sword of decapitation to extinguish Wang Yuezhi's light of hope:

"Sorry, Yuezhi, I went to ask, it's true, they got together yesterday, guaranteed true."

"He is willing, she is willing, they are a perfect match."

Even after the two heard the information he conveyed about "Chen Yuying saying she doesn't want to date for the time being," Chen Tianming was silent for some reason, but Zhang Haoyang cruelly started telling him "Do you know that in English, some sentence patterns and letters have parts that are silent"...

Zhuo Yongfei didn't convey this part, damn, this is too heartbreaking.

The person I have a secret crush on also said she doesn't date, damn!

Hope there is no Lin Li in other schools...

"I see." The light in Wang Yuezhi's eyes went out, and his words were crisp and neat, no longer dragging.

He lowered his head, pressed his ears with both hands, and didn't say a word.

So Lin Li confessed this weekend.

What was he doing this weekend?

Oh, remembered, after finishing homework, he continued to study that book "Circus Art".

Interest is the best teacher.

Now his juggling, he can already stably throw six balls while riding a unicycle. Mom originally didn't support him playing these, but now seeing his growth and talent, she also approved.

So when he was embracing his interest, was Lin Li embracing Chen Yuying...

That kind of thing...

That kind of thing...

Supplement... medicine... ah...

Zhuo Yongfei couldn't bear to look, equally sad, he looked up at the ceiling and swallowed his sigh.

"Snowflakes fluttering~ North wind whistling~"

Damn, maybe he really isn't young, his ears really have problems, he even hallucinated someone singing "A Cut of Plum".

Wait, it doesn't seem like a hallucination!

Zhuo Yongfei turned his head sharply, only to see Zhang Haoyang had come over at some point, singing softly in the row behind.

And Chen Tianming, who followed closely behind, hurriedly grabbed him and pulled him back, incidentally throwing apologetic looks at Zhuo Yongfei and Wang Yuezhi.

Damn! These two are passionately gossiping in the back!

Class 4 of Grade 1, where he is, really doesn't have many humans.

Turning his head, seeing Wang Yuezhi's head lowered even more, Zhuo Yongfei hurriedly leaned over with concern: "Yuezhi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Really fine?"

"Really fine, really fine, wuwuwu tat ahhhhh..."

Zhuo Yongfei: "..."

Brother, your expression and voice really don't look like you're fine.

What, did the wind blow tears into your eyes?

"It's okay, it's okay, Yuezhi, it will get better..." Zhuo Yongfei could only comfort him.

"I'll go to the bathroom first." Wang Yuezhi rubbed his eyes and stood up to say.

"I have paper here, I can give it to you to wipe your eye... butt's eye." Zhuo Yongfei took paper out of his pocket—not a small pack, but the kind that is pulled out of a large pack and folded in his pocket.

"No need, I have my own." Wang Yuezhi waved his hand and walked quickly out of the hall with his head down.

Zhuo Yongfei sighed.

Of course he knew what Wang Yuezhi was going to do now, but it was really inappropriate to follow him. Now he needs to give Wang Yuezhi space to be alone.

But what Zhuo Yongfei didn't expect was that in less than three minutes, Wang Yuezhi came back.

There was no sadness on his face anymore.

But it wasn't good news.

Replacing it was extreme despair, lifeless.

—Damn, why is his face so dark? It's even scarier.

"W-what's wrong?" This expression stunned Zhuo Yongfei, and he asked with a look of surprise.

"I just," Wang Yuezhi let out a long sigh, his expression dazed, unfocused, his tone ethereal, as if he wasn't talking about his own experience:

"Went to the bathroom, wanted to go into a stall... to sit for a while, but found that every stall had high piles of strawberry towers, and they couldn't be flushed down, and they were stinking, every one, it was every one..."

Zhuo Yongfei: "... (; o_o)?"

Damn!

Tonight is Wang Yuezhi's suffering day.

Zhuo Yongfei thought about this scene, and it was too desperate.

No wonder he had this expression.

"The bathroom downstairs must have some, let's go, I'll accompany you..."

"No need, the bathroom or not doesn't matter anymore, Yongfei, you say, what do people live for?" Wang Yuezhi asked calmly.

Zhuo Yongfei: "!"

"Not to that extent, not to that extent, not to that extent," Zhuo Yongfei hurriedly collected all the pens on the table—"Final Destination" has this kind of death.

"Yuezhi, actually, thinking on the bright side, the Class Monitor and Lin Li being together is also beneficial for you."

"Hmm? What?"

Wang Yuezhi moved his gaze to Zhuo Yongfei, and a hint of expectation appeared in his dead-water eyes.

Please, give me a reason to live!

"Yuezhi, think about it," Zhuo Yongfei brainstormed, and then his eyes finally lit up:

"Before, when the Class Monitor wasn't dating, you had to compete with countless people who liked the Class Monitor, because she had to like one among all the pursuers!

But now that she's already dating, she will only compare you with Lin Li. Look, isn't the difficulty reduced by countless times?"

Wang Yuezhi: "?"

"Is, is this right?"

"How is it not right? Where is it not right! It's too right!" Zhuo Yongfei said firmly.

A hint of light returned to Wang Yuezhi's eyes, but in an instant, it dimmed again:

"Although it makes some sense, but Yongfei, do you think, if I compare myself with Lin Li, can I ever surpass him one day..."

Although dim, there was still expectation in Wang Yuezhi's eyes looking at Zhuo Yongfei.

Zhuo Yongfei: "ovo."

"Wow! Yuezhi, look, is that a teacher passing by? It seems we're about to have class." Zhuo Yongfei pointed to the door innocently.

Wang Yuezhi: "?"

Your mom!!
